    Using Chromecast

    A year or two ago, I started seeing information on Google’s new streaming video device: Chromecast.  The information I initially gathered was sketchy, but, as I studied it, I began to understand some of it’s capabilities.

    Home Security & Surveillance Cameras

    I am starting a new series looking at home security & surveillance monitoring cameras. My fist blog in this series will be on the Uniden Guardian which we have been using at home (the G755) for a few years now, and I installed a newer version in the office building where I used to have…

    Using Google Inbox

    UPDATE Nov 2022: Inbox has been gone for several years now. I still miss it. 😦 I am always willing to try something new.  Sometimes that has been a curse (like being 20 years ahead of the videoconferencing curve) but sometimes it has been a blessing in that I occasionally find a gem that I…

  • BYOD becomes UYOD

    BYOD becomes UYOD

    The latest buzz word is Bring Your Own Device.  BYOD presumes you travel to a central work location and bring your own device there….to work. I am saying that term is already obsolete, or will be in the very near future.  If you can do your work with your own device, travelling up to 4 hours…
